Opt for a Room with a Sink

Some rooms come with a sink, which can be convenient, especially if the room does not have a private bathroom.

Consider Noise Levels

Check Room Size for Groups

Be Mindful of Shared Bathroom Wait Times

During peak times, there might be a wait for the shared bathrooms, so plan accordingly, especially if traveling with children.

Plan Laundry in Advance

If you plan to use the washing machine and dryer, ensure you arrange for tokens at check-in, as the reception might be closed at night.

Consider the Kitchen Facilities

Be Prepared for Crowded Common Areas

The common areas, especially the kitchen, can get crowded, so plan your meal times accordingly to avoid inconvenience.

Check for Room Privacy

Some rooms have windows facing the entrance path, so if privacy is a concern, consider this when selecting a room.

Consider Parking Availability

While there is free parking, it can fill up by the evening, so plan your arrival time accordingly.

Be Aware of Heating Levels
